(LAS VEGAS, NV) – It has always been a difficult balance to give awards in all the categories, yet not make the show unbearably long. This year, MC Teri Weigel aided by Comedian Bobby Slayton, had the advantage of pre-recordings for groups of awards. The show started off with “Why We Love America” in interviews from many familiar faces expressing their love for our country.

Please excuse any inaccuracies in reporting the events, as at times it was difficult to hear. Teri and Bobby introduced the first presenters, Randy West, Jassie and Kim, who announced the first awards.

Presenting next are newcomers Chloe Jones and Jody Moore.
-Best Supporting Actress - Film
-Julie Meadows, Fade To Black, Vivid Entertainment Group
Julie was exceptionally radiant with flowing waves of long blonde hair. All but one of the nominees was from Vivid.

Paul Fishbein then is welcomed on stage to present The Reuben Sturman Special Achievement Award to Gloria Leonard and Elyse Metcalf. Gloria said “Holy Shit!” And that she is flattered and honored receiving the award, and called for unity to fight the good fight. She joked about being remembered for what came out of her mouth rather than what went in it. Elyse Metcalf was not present.

Vince Neil from Motley Crüe flanked by Julia Ann and Dasha presented.
-Male Performer of the Year
-Lexington Steele
Lex accepted his award and credited the others who were nominated.

-Female Performer of the Year

Jill Kelly, Jewel De’Nyle and a slew of others were up next presenting.

-Best New Starlet
-Violet Blue (Pictured above)
Violet honestly thought someone else was going to win. The surprise on her sweet face was apparent even in bad lighting. She was overwhelmed with the honor. Even the lewd gyrations of an enormous pink pig with a huge bouncing penis that danced across the stage couldn’t detract from the moment. Congratulations to Violet.
